The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Ok, since I have some time but no special ideas ( I means too many ideas to be able to pick one and seriously work on it, I would set kind of personnal challenging but with your cololaboration. I let you guys ask some things you want on this map ( kind of border, map with no mountains - please don't do that , 2 continents, map on book , special icon, special theme or color, red sea or forests inside moutains or such other things that comes to your mind andt might fit on prefereably on a fantasy map) With all the elements I'll keep (I may let some by side cause I know you guys will surely ask some odd and scary things ) I'll will set myself to work trying to achieve that great collaborative and challenging map
